    Overview

    ? Demo Already Done: Building is fully gutted with framing nearly complete. Buyer skips the slowest, dirtiest, most expensive phase of the rehab. ? R-3 Zoning — One or Two-Family by Right: Per Chester Zoning Ordinance, two-family dwellings are permitted by right in R-3. ? $59K Entry Point: At $37/sqft, this is the lowest per-sqft acquisition in the corridor. ? Large Equity Spread: $130K all-in vs. $185K-230kARV ? Multiple Exit Strategies: Flip as SFH ($80k+ profit), flip as duplex ($100K+ profit), BRRRR rental hold, or owner-occupant. ? 1% Rule Cash Flow: At $59K acquisition, even conservative SFH rent of $1,500/mo exceeds 2.5% of purchase price — far above the 1% rule benchmark.
